The bar association has re:er commended C J Ramage of Saluda to preside, instead of Judge Klugh, irp who is not able to be on the bench. ;es Solicitor Timmerman was in Lexncj ington Saturday lookington after certain cases, which it is his intention to bring to trial. The criminal nd docket is perhaps the heaviest it has ter been in several years. While there are at present only three prisoners in jail, there are a score or more out ! .. I oil Dan, 1 nerc arc iwo muiuu i.usca on the docket, but it is hardly proal batle that either of these will be eallof ed. Both are negroes and bgth are out on bond. Pinky Culpepper, a C(j negro woman, is charged with the murder of her husband, near Cayce, some months ago. The other is Jack ng rowe, who killed another negro. Will Minis, the Brooklyn white man who is in jail here charged with ire . . the assault, the alleged victim being a very near relative of th. accused, ied will probably be tried at this term. A case of wide interest relating ^o o{ the State banking law, that of J. A. Blackwelder of Newberry, former president and a prime mover in the in the organization of the Chapin re- bank, who is charged with violating :ol- certain sections of the State banking laws, will not be brought to trial at . this term, it is said, ibis case has been twice continued. Among the many cases of assault s a and battery 1o be tried at some time or other, there are two that are of especial interest. W. Lee Banke, the ?; a _ . ... ^ white man who shot his son, iroy Banks, in the leg with a Winchester, for several montes ago, the young man J F losing his leg as a result of the injury may be tried. Since Banks has been released from jail he has been living with his family, it is said, and there has been some talk of an adjustment to of the case out side of the courts, ati- There is also the case of Barnie Keeder, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, he having shot Clarence Rucker, a prominent rr ^ farmer of the Swansea section, with a Winchester a few weeks ago. As ida a result of the wound Rucker lost rry his leg also. This case will be called at the approaching term for trial. The cases against the six negroes !"* who were placed in jail last Sunday charged with assault and battery and disturbing religious worship at the ent negro Baptist cmux h in this place, will most likely be tried at the coirinpr term. All of them have been re 'me leased on bond. The case o; W. Westmoreland of ide Samaria, who was indicted for a sect to ; ond time a few weeks ago upon the : charge of adultry, will come up before the grand jury. In this case the Georgia divorce laws are involved, the defendant having resigned in / in ' Georgia and secured a divorce. jj Kate Wright Friday last.

" .u %v f | | boys and girls not only for college I and for life. The boys and girls ." ought to be taught more about their i 11 native soil, their gardens, lawn, cows,! corn and what the dormant soil has ! I m store for them. If they farm it; should pay them to do so, If the 1 girls keep house they should like it ' rather than despise. We should be taught to make effort pay whatever j we do. And as I said this state was j, largely agricultural, this feature: ought to becmphasized and impress-! ed on him, as he will likely pursue' this avocation and now it is not < done. I further suggested that a school I in Appomattox. Va., was now being; operated very successfully. Soj doubtlessly another reader failed to make inquiry as to its practical op- j J eration and asserts without proper knowledge that it cannot be done. I. see no good reason why the school. named could not be duplicated ' here. The money or tax s been ' voted on the people -with whtvh to build the school house an.: heeisi' | little chance of his not a. ing it. You will pay teachers as von have ] beer, paying heretofore except the, agricultural demonstrator and rntn-! mo'.ogist, that the government will furnish. The entomologist now located at Batesburg with his demonstration work is not paid by the Batesburg school or people. He was sent here upon request and it the proper means is exercised thcscivices of the two additional teachers can be proem;t d without cost to our school except wake proper provision for class room work. It would be nice to have another Clemson College though of small size where more demonstrative work could or likely would be done, but Mr. Edwards district school bill has r.ct passed the General Assembly and become a law. It would be very nice to have a school patterned a:ter Clemson College, though smal!? located here, where all of t..c features pertaining to an education i could be given and demonstrated. But I am satisfied to take what is in reach until the proper time comes and then we can develop greater things. "Another Reader" asks where are the pupils to cornc from? Why need a schoolhousc i: the puj pils are not in sight? There arc two ; or three hu:.;ired attending ou I school! And as I stated previously! ; that bugs ha I to be dealt with in the l future or the farmers would have I great d;:!. su.: y r 1 c rops. 1 his fact was overlooked by /^nothei Reader'' a;ul he ha: ps on the largest i town between Columbia and Ar.gVisi ta and the poorest equipment for 1 high school purpo es. Under tho ] plan suggt ste 1 ratten: d alter the 'tenth Congsessiot 1 Agricultural I High School of Appomattox, Va. 'where agriculture and its courses will be required as is the above named school. There is nos a question ] asked as to time for doiir-r it, if a scho: ;r want to take music or any other special line o: accomplishment. Wit.. ux hour jolastic du lies, wh ch i., the ruh talcing t!, t?t ' j hours for sice; and two lot smokuy j and ' as'1 ball o: i " her icfreshrnent. which is the ousu m at the school You have eight hours leit and ctr tainly that would be time enough to i experiment with study ot bugs am practical demonstration of tarn' work and domestic science. So there would not be any use o: an extra course of a year or more tc t complete the regular course. Foi further information 1 refer "Anothei Reader to Congressman H. D Flood, ot .'a.
